The Bentley Wedding Portrait

Ok so.... I posted a picture of the Bentleys of Bentley Manor a couple posts ago (me and my husband)... Well I have finished my first piece for the house (and I haven't even dusted the thing off yet). Here you are... the wedding photo of the Bentleys of Bentley Manor:


Since I am setting the house in the 1930's or 40's I decided to put us in a 1920's wedding portrait. Here it is so you can see it a bit better. I just took our faces from that other photo I showed you and popped us in :) ....

Boy, its been a busy week.... full of birthdays and chores....phew :)

PS. Thanks to Tara of Dollhouse at Pooh Corner for a lovely package of odds and ends she sent me which contained the frame that I painted and used for this!!! Thanks Tara!!!

  9. Perhaps you might think about placing another wedding portrait of the Bentley couple in the basement of the Addams Mini Mansion. Sort of a picture of the not so often talked about part of the family because of there rather peculiar ways, that is, until, well, what do you know . . . .

    (the idea man)
